Christmas Baking - Croquants aux Amandes

Hello Dear Friends! Let's get back to our Christmas cookies. I have a very simple and yet delicious recipe for you from Provence. Now please note, if you are more of a brownie, moist, nothing too hard kind of cookie lover, this is NOT for you! These "Croquants" (=from the verb "to bite") have ZERO fat! No oil, no butter, nada! It's good for our waist but might be dangerous for our crowns and i'm not talking about the one we should have on our head! To give you a better idea, they're a harder version of a traditional Biscotti but dunked in a cup of coffee, tea of hot cocoa there are Yummy...

These look intriguing. It's super seeing the different traditional bakes of the season & I can well imagine these dunked in a hot drink.Thanks for letting us have a glimpse of your seasonal fare.Paula (PEP)

I bet they're delicious! I love anything with almonds! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe...and for the kisses! 12/12/12 was my daughter's 2X12 birthday! lol Have a beautiful day, my friend!...Nancy :o)
